I enjoyed the experience of Sovana Bistro immensely. While the service may not have started off with a bang (I ordered a glass of vino at the bar, but the server was underage so I had to wait), everything else was nearly flawless.

I did a little romantic trip to the area with my wife, and we decided to have dinner at Sovana. The place was quite crowded and noisy, and the service was rather slow.

I had dinner there on my way from Philadelphia to Baltimore. The service is great and friendly, a couple of fun beers on tap along with a nice wine list, and the food is excellent. Highly recommended. more
